Exploit the full power of Azure

Microsoft Azure is a recognised leader in both private and public cloud. It’s an open cloud, providing access to over 200 preconfigured services and the choice to use the technologies you want and have already invested in. Azure provides a fully integrated set of IaaS and PaaS capabilities, including technologies like AI and machine learning, analytics, DevOps, internet of things and security, all of which complement and integrate with on-premises systems.

As the most experienced Microsoft Azure cloud services partner, with more Microsoft Certified Professionals on Azure than any other Microsoft partner, we help you fully exploit the power of Azure. Speed, scalability, economics, data, analytics, AI, cognitive services and more, all from one provider, optimised just for you.

“Avanade is a valued Azure Stack partner, giving our clients the benefits of Azure in hybrid environments while providing valuable input and expertise to help improve the platform. We look forward to delivering on the promise of hybrid cloud together.”

Capabilities to help you get the most from Azure

Avanade provides a holistic set of cloud services, as well as expertise in building innovative solutions on the Microsoft Azure platform. We can help you get the most from Azure.

Azure Security

Security is integrated into every aspect of Azure. Protect your data, apps and infrastructure quickly with built-in security services in Azure that include unparalleled security intelligence to help identify rapidly evolving threats early — so you can respond quickly. Implement a layered in-depth strategy across identity, data, hosts and networks. Unify your security management and enable advanced threat protection in hybrid cloud environments.

Azure Stack Services

Microsoft Azure Stack is changing the game in hybrid cloud platforms with a true hybrid cloud experience that increases efficiency, flexibility and productivity. For the first time, you can have a common, single vendor platform across cloud and on-premises data centres. To meet various industry needs, we can provide a fully managed solution delivered on-premises in your data centre, at remote locations or hosted in Avanade’s data centres.

Azure AI and Machine Learning

Today, your only limitation is the question you haven’t asked. Advanced analytics techniques using AI and machine learning make it possible for machines to think and learn. Microsoft Azure Machine Learning enables data scientists to prepare data, develop experiments and deploy models at cloud scale. You can then leverage Docker containers for experiments in managed environments and have the ability to use advanced hardware to accelerate execution. Azure Machine Learning includes three components (Workbench, Experimentation Service and Model Management Service), a learning library as well as Visual Studio Code Tools for AI.

At Avanade, we can help you start with the questions you haven’t even thought of yet. Our design-led analytics workshops enable you to envision the possibilities of new products, new business models, operational efficiencies, advanced customer experiences and more.

Azure SQL

Azure SQL Database is a relational cloud database that allows you to accelerate app development and use the familiar SQL database engine. Migrate your SQL server databases without changing your apps. Connect your data to the built-in artificial intelligence and advanced analytics capabilities to maximize performance, data protection and accelerated app development. This approach has the benefit of low maintenance and the same performance, scalability and reliability of Microsoft’s Azure cloud in IaaS and PaaS models.

We can help you combine the power of Microsoft’s data platform, Azure SQL Database and advanced analytics to make your analytics dream a reality. We help you use all your data, manage and maintain it, as well as get the insights you need to accelerate your business delivered as-a-service.

Azure Cognitive Services

Everywhere you look, there is opportunity to infuse your apps, websites and bots with intelligent algorithms to see, hear, speak, understand and interpret your user needs through natural methods of communication.
